Conover, with pride tells of Avenue of Flags

Burdette Conover, Legion member of Holstein, tells proudly of the Avenue of Flags. Conover explains that it all came about when a boy scout came up with the idea to hang flags for veterans in the mini park. That boy scout was Michael Parrott. Parrott was asked what happens when you have more veterans than flagpoles, he said he would double them up. Conover said the Legion could not have that so the plan was to hang flagpoles on South Kiel St., the area just north of Highway 20. That plan has grown to over 500 flags.
